Don't Try To Talk 'Harry Potter' With Me If You Haven't Read The Books

If you haven’t read the books, I don’t have time to waste on you.

If you know me at all, you probably know that I love "Harry Potter." I love everything about "Harry Potter" and every single time I think about it it just gets better and better. There are so many little things inside the “Harry Potter” series that make it so spectacular. If you’ve read the books already, I will gladly talk your ear off about every little minuscule and beautiful detail.

If you haven’t read the books, I don’t have time to waste on you.

I cannot tell you how many times people have tried to tell me that “Harry Potter” isn’t as great as I think it is— whether it’s because they think it’s Satanic, childish, or just sort of average. However, the thing that all these naysayers have in common is that they haven’t read the books. Maybe they’ve seen some or all of the movies or maybe they’ve read the first book or two, but they haven’t truly experienced the series the way you do when you actually read all seven books.

There are so many remarkable things in the books that were left out of the movies— so much character development, and frankly, so much Quidditch. It’s a waste of my time to talk about the "Harry Potter" books with you if you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Additionally, I’m not about to spoil the whole series for you in order for you to see my point.

You have to actually read the books start to finish to see why the books aren’t Satanic— they actually promote Christian ideals. You have to actually read all the books to see that they’re not childish— Rowling advanced the reading skill level as the books progressed to follow her target audience as they grew up. That’s just extraordinary in my opinion.

You can’t truly see all the magic of the “Harry Potter” series if you haven’t read them. The fact that people actually try to convince me that they’re not that great when they haven’t even read them astounds me. I’m not going to try to convince you to change your mind— that’s not my job. All you have to do is read the books and you’ll see just what I’m talking about. Until you do, don’t try to talk "Harry Potter" with me.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
